Can anyone confirm that this is now > the case? coincidentally, just yesterday, i connected my laptop to an ARM embedded system thru its serial port and, since my laptop doesn't have a serial port, i used a USB -based targus port replicator and, upon connection, the new serial port on the laptop showed up as /dev/ttyUSB0 and that's what i used to configure minicom. so it *appears* that the /dev/ttyUSB* naming convention still works. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
